Well, motherboard is broken, I just need to recover data. It's not the power supply issue. Here's what I get from LVM: # lvm lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/c/c LV Name c VG Name c LV UUID...

Bad news, but news. :( Thanks.

Mostly probably there was RAID-5, because it's default in the device when installing 3 or more disks. Manual saids also there is X-RAID mode default, in opposition to Flex-Raid (I guess both of them are kind of data management inside RAID-5). So this probably is RAID-5 – X-RAID. Look at the...

Hello. I got a broken NAS: Netgear RND4000. I need to recover data from the disks. There was 4 HDDs in it, 2 TB each. I am trying to see the content on Linux (using Mint Debian actually), connecting them all to some ATX MB that does not support (even if it does, it's disabled) RAID. All disks...

Well, fixing the broken USB socket in the original Seagate USB case did the trick. But when I put the disk into the case, I again saw nothing in disk managers – just empty, unpartitioned disk. Searching for partitions again in testdisk worked once more. The GPT partition table has been found...

OK – now I got weird situation. Two USB cases, on both: any Linux see valid GPT with valid NTFS on it, and I can read and write files. On any Windows 7 or 10, there's a valid GPT with unknown RAW partition on it, that Windows want to format (so cannot do chkdsk or so). What can be wrong yet?

Yup – testdisk has found valid NTFS and also listed directories structure! Maybe I'll recover all the data, now I got to do chkdsk from Windows, that I can do on Monday, 'cause I'm now on TeamView. I'll set the flag [solved] when I make myself sure the partition is truly recovered.

So, for now, gparted found no partitions. I think I can try testdisk, maybe it would be helpful…

Well, I can try do that by night, because I'm pretty sure it will took hours.

I'm sorry, this is so important so I didn't wrote that. :) I want to recover the partition with all data structures on it, that's my target. At least I can try to recover data file by file, but that I can probably simply make with testdisk or similar. I hope recovery is possible, probably the...

Sorry if I miss some solution, but I can't find issue like my one, especially looking into gpart status in answers. What I have got: ■ Seagate 4000GB 3,5" drive ST4000DM000 ■ Probably shipped as mounted in USB 3.0 SATA dock, Seagate (unknown model, the case is incomplete and USB port is...
